Judges 9:7 in Context — Judges 9
5 Il vint dans la maison de son père à Ophra, et il tua ses frères, fils de Jerubbaal, soixante-dix hommes, sur une même pierre. Il n’échappa que Jotham, le plus jeune fils de Jerubbaal, car il s’était caché.
6 Tous les habitants de Sichem et toute la maison de Millo se rassemblèrent; ils vinrent, et proclamèrent roi Abimélec, près du chêne planté dans Sichem.
7 Jotham en fut informé. Il alla se placer sur le sommet de la montagne de Garizim, et voici ce qu’il leur cria à haute voix: Écoutez-moi, habitants de Sichem, et que Dieu vous écoute!
8 Les arbres partirent pour aller oindre un roi et le mettre à leur tête. Ils dirent à l’olivier: Règne sur nous.
9 Mais l’olivier leur répondit: Renoncerais-je à mon huile, qui m’assure les hommages de Dieu et des hommes, pour aller planer sur les arbres?
